Governor Hill;s Veto.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 49, Governor hin
has vetoed the Crosby high license bill, which
imposed license Of 81, 900 on saloon keepers
In New York city and Brooklyn. The gov
ernor argues that such discrimination
against saloon keepers in two cities is a vio-
lation Of the constitutional provision for
equality of taxation; also, that the clause
confscating liquor found in unlicensed sa-
looms, without proof that it is on sale or in,
tended to be sold, is unconstitutional as vio-
lating the fundamental right to own prop
erty. He also condemns the bin as strictly
party measure, put through by the Republic
can caucus, and because it was forced upon
New York and Brooklyn against the wishes
of the representatives Of those cities. He
reminds the country members of the legisla-
ture that saloons are more numerous in
proportion to population in almost all the
cities, towns and villages Of the state than
in New York city, and that they should not
deny their own districts the benefit Of the
act il it is intended to be beneficial

They Complain Of Their Treatment and
Think They are Entitled to Prize Money.
New YORK, April Is Six Of the seamen
of the victorious Coronet reached New York
yesterday in q disoontested frame Of mind.
They are Nicholas Clemens, Charles Ulsen,
Andrew Jacobs, Alexander Williams, Charles
Wiltgrau and John l. Gunjberg. They arr
rived in Boston on Sunday in the Catalonia,
and came to New York yesterday morning.
The cause of their discomfort Is that half the
prize the Coronet won-$5, O00-is not to be
divided among the crew. They thought they
would get this money in addition to their
wages
"When we shipped on the Coronet," said
Clemens, 'the mate, Whittier made speech
to us as we lay of Staten Island. He urged
us to do our best to win. If we win,'
he said, half the prize money will go
to the crew Well, we worked very hard in
that race and we won. When we reached
Queentown Capt. Crosby paid us our wages
up to that day and gave us money for our
passage on the Catalonia. When we asked
him about the prize money Capt. Crosby
said he had nothing to do with the matter,
and that the mate had no authority to say
what he did y
The Herald reporter saw Mr. Bush later in
the day. ''I'm sorry Mr.. Bush said, that
the men are disconnected. They made con-
tract for their services with Capt Crosby,
who had the hiring OF the crew entirely in
his hands. had nothing to do with it. As
for the prize money, the mate had no author
ity to say what he is reported 10 have said,
and doubtless was not serious at all when he
told the men that the money would go to
them i think it is only fair though, that
the men should be paid their wages up to the
day when they reached the city, and II they
will call to see me I will give them the
money!

A Valuable Invention.

TIFFIN, o., April 13.--James VanNette
and DR.. George s. Yingling, of this city,
have recently patented an invention called
the oscillating hook machine, which is des-
tined to calse revolution in that practical
and useful article. The invention is upon an
entirely new principle, and in its application
completely overcomes all Of the objections
common to the vibrating shuttle and rotat-
ing hooks heretofore the only known means
of interlocking the needle and bobbin
threads The right to manufacture this ma
chine in Great Britain, France and Belgium,
was sold to foreign capitalists to-day for
100000, and fattering offers have been re-
ceived for the right in the United States and
Canada which the inventors now have un-
der consideration.

Property Recovered-No Bonded Goods
Among the Lot-Prisoners Bailed.
PITTsBuRG, April IL The Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati g. st. Louis Railway company
having succeeded in arresting the men they
were after, there Is great falling Off in the
estimate Of the value Of the goods stolen
from the trains Assistant General Freight
Agent McCabe, through whose department
all claims for stolen and lost freight must
pass, made the following statement:
THE statement that the value of the goods
stolen was $4,000 to $4,000 is preposter-
GUS All claims for losses have been settled
in this office and the value of the goods
stolen is not over $1,000 The value on the
articles recovered by the detectives was es-
minated by them more on the space the
plumber occupied in their Office than its real
worth. The largest single loss to any shipper
was the guns and revolve,s taken at tho
time of the Sheridan Station fight That
claim was adjusted for less than $500. The
statement that quantities of jewelry and sill
verware had been stolen is untrue. That
class of goods.almost invariably goes by ex-
press. There were no cars containing United
States bonded goods broken into, SO that the
story about finely imported fabrics being
among the plumber is not true either. The
communion service stolen and found in this
city was worth $l25, and was settled for.
The officers, however, who worked up the
case, deserve just as much credit as though
million dollars worth had been stolen.
They have broken up gigantic system of
hot II, fitvfo xunt, bnu odoN
that amount .e
Mr.. McCabe's statement in q manner con-
firms the allegations Of the families of some
Of the pl isoners that the raiding officers took
articles from their homes which had been
obtained honestly. In the instance of Mrs.
Hastings. wife Of one of the prisoners, was
only able to obtain bed and window drapery
by presenting receipted bill for the same
from Pittsbirg merchant. Attorneys Mon
tooth. Coyle, Raardol, Rowand, Sullivan,
Huey, Cochran, Blacklsy. Moore and Ed
mundson called and held consultations with
the prisoners. At later hour these attor-
ney5 voiced the opiaion that their several
ciints would be released for want Of evil
dence. During the day Mack Rober IS, John
Hastings, r. e. Kuhn and +. M. Maple were
released on $4,000 bail.
Elmer Young, J. X. Mullen and j. M.
Armstrong were committed. c. HI. Laugh
lin was released, having been arrested by
mistake Detectives Gilkinson and Rice
think that there is scarcely flaw in the evil
dence they have woven about majority Of
the prisoners, and are confident that not one
of them will escape deserved punishment.
The conf Gated trunks have not yet been
opened, nor will they be until next Monday
at the time of the hearing before Deputy
Mayor Gripp.

folding an album Is which were some
handsome photographs of the mutton
tribe. "Hcre are the photographs Of
our Stock" he continued. .:Just look
at that. will you?" and the farmer the
next minute was admiring fine pic
tlre.
The unsuspecting farmer, who never
reads tho papers. usually selected one
of the lot. and. upon the represcntion
of the stranger that, tho sheep from
which the photograph was taken would
be shipped to him at once. persuaded
him to make purchase. He. was to
pay 1926 for it, and tho stranger wanted
$40 upon the purchase in order that the
stock man who raised it would feel sat-
isficd to ship it. The farmer paid over
